The Conductor

The Conductor Lyrics

[The Conductor:]
It's a fast-changing world
And I'm now the conductor of the city's finest orchestra
No longer the self-deprecating accompanist from such a short while ago
Ann would be proud of me
I do have my suspicions though, about why she isn't alive
And doubts, too, about something else, but
Excuse me a minute

Henry has invited me to his place tomorrow to discuss a matter that he says concerns Annette and Ann
As awkward as it is for me to attend, anything that concerns Ann and the future of Annette is something that concerns me
Excuse me one more time

My love for Ann has never died
Neither has my regret that our affair was only an affair
I had been hoping for so long
Then at a time when she was in despair, we started an affair
But the very next week she met Henry, that was the end of it, the end of me
I'll always regret that
I deeply miss her... her warmth, her voice
I miss Ann
Excuse me!
